Where is Alan Reinhart? (10 Viewers)

It's not like someone as high profile as Alan to just walk off and not explain to anyone, although there is precedence (Austin Coil). If he were to have been released by the NHRA or took a gig as a stick and ball announcer, I'd think he would have been here explaining his official change of direction.

Anyway, there's a couple of people here who say they've talked to Alan and that he's just fine. In light of that, while I'd like to see him back in action I'm gonna wish him well and not worry about it.

he prob is fine and is moving on, but i hope he is back too.

The bottom line is this, the show is better when Alan is on the mic, hopefully he makes his return for Indy.

Maybe NHRA is tired of all that banter and babbling,and going a different route with announcers.

I doubt that. Alan doesn’t babble. I haven’t chimed in because I’m sure we’ll hear from him when it’s time. Alan does a fantastic job, and I think the entire NHRA announcing team is top notch.

Maybe you aren't listening to the broadcast on NHRA.TV, there is plenty of "babbling". Hopefully who ever they land with will be as good or better than Alan.

I have listened to alan at thunder valley,when he does the sportsman racing ,he babbles all over ,about working on cars or what time they ate last night.It was ok at first but he wouldn't stop,sometimes too much but that just me, never liked the banter no matter who was doing it.

It's not that anyone is worried at this point since several people here have claimed to have spoken to him and know he's well and happy. For me, its paying to hear his knowledge on nhra.tv and not getting it. its really the main thing nhra.tv is worth it for imo. i like the exclusive content, from others and racing coverage, but none of that was why i thought it was worth the money. Of course, knowing He, Amanda Busick, and whoever else are not NHRA employees, it was always a possibility someone might not be covering a national event. I for one never imagined that would become a reality with Alan, even if only temporary.

he missed atleast 1 race last year.

He’s announcing at Brainerd

He isn’t in Brainerd. He wasn’t in Seattle, Sonoma and now Brainerd. I just hope everything is okay.

I have been considering all of the possible reasons why we haven't heard from Alan. With the mystery and silence surrounding his absence, I have concluded that he was likely caught building a two seat racecar in his shop, and it has an old cert tag on the chassis. I'm sure he's laying low, getting some advice from LD on what happens next, who to hire as legal counsel, and what kind of #hashtag to use to disassociate the car from the NHRA.

Yea, but Alan is a Mustang kind of guy.

 

[DanTheFan]

I predict that next week he’ll be saying (as usual) ‘See you at the next one’

Thanks to all for the concern. I am just fine. I went dark to deal with a personal issue that is now behind me.

Looking forward to getting back to normal.
